Abstract
Modeling and controlling the flow of complex fluids with nanoscale resolution is an essential component of current and future technologies. In particular, electric fields can be effectively used to steer and manipulate polymeric solutions to create new materials and devices. This review outlines the rich physics of fluid mechanics, electromagnetism, and polymer dynamics that combine to create the theoretical underpinnings of this burgeoning field.
